Le Havre Hand Jaïr Karam Interim Coaching Role for Lorient Match
The academy director takes charge of Le Havre’s first team as the club seeks its first league victory of the season.
Le Havre academy director Jaïr Karam has taken interim charge of the first team for Sunday’s Ligue 1 match against Lorient, the club confirmed Monday.
Karam led his first training session in the role Monday. He takes over a team sitting last in the league with two points.
The 50-year-old former French Guiana coach joined Le Havre in 2022 after coaching Poitiers and Chamalières. He has worked with the club’s reserve and under-19 teams and became academy director two years ago.
Le Havre said academy coaches were joining the first-team staff to support Karam for the assignment. The club has not announced a permanent coaching appointment.
